Joe Budden calls out Draya Michele for pregnancy with Jalen Green
Among those to speak out against Draya Michele is rapper/podcast host Joe Budden. During a recent episode of his show, he went as far as to call the former "Basketball Wives" star a predator.
Budden's rage mainly stemmed from them having a child together. He doesn't seem to be a fan of the age gap, but feels her pregnancy makes things look worse.
“She looks absolutely nuts," Budden said. "If you want to f*** a 21-year-old, cool, but now you got a baby by a 21-year-old? You are a predator!”
“It’s too many horror stories of athletes losing everything that they ever have because they are not insulated because they are no barriers because there is nobody instructing them."
Despite what others think, Michele and Green seem to enjoy being together. Now, their relationship is getting ready to hit the next level. In just a few short months, the two are going to be parents together.
Earlier in the year, it looked like the Houston Rockets might still be playing in May. However, that doesn't seem to be the case now. They are currently out of the play-in tournament in 12th place in the Western Conference.
The LA Lakers are holding on to the last spot in the play-in in 10th place. They have a six-and-a-half game lead over the Rockets, who are two spots below them. While things still could change, Houston would have to cover a lot of ground in these final weeks.
Since Green likely won't be playing in the postseason this year, he can focus on Draya Michele and the birth of thier first child.
